I've gone from 4k to 30k with Haas Murray Piakura no C so wouldn't worry about rank after game 1. Must have been a fair few Haas C played

I thought he was defending in the middle, attacking on the edge. Was certainly heavily involved in defence.

My main wish this week is a great score from Hopgood. Having 800k+ tied up in an underperforming gun is not what I really need at the moment.

Poorly coached mate is what it is. The roster is good enough to be in the 8

Hey mate we try to avoid shitposting from Thursday to Sunday while we have games to discuss

Keep jokes like this for Monday or Tuesday and they will be much better received

My gut says Lolo and Jaifiti

I'd lock in Jaifiti and flip a coin on the other 2

Crikey, 52 from Murray in that kinda game is huge.

I have the same with Haas as captain and still lost 10k ranks it's the teams with all bronco players

Held Tatola, BE of 36 so the 40 wasn't a bad outcome all things considered. He's a keep for now if he smoulders away, then trade him with another mid-ranger (probably Hosking if minutes drop) for gun & cow if one pops up.

Yeah I think I'll try to hold until the Rd 7 bye. Gives more chances to get his face tatted on my ass or Matt's ass on my face etc.

Salmon is the fun play

I don't think people understand just how massively over-owned Broncos players are. You will basically always be worse off than the "average" team after they have played
This is the total ownership of all players on a club by club basis.

Broncos are so far out in front its not funny. I have no idea why this is the case

Club	Total owners
Broncos	559097
Bulldogs	295951
Roosters	295045
Canberra	285937
Manly	274768
Souths	259047
Storm	256755
Penrith	249578
Cowboys	193768
Dragons	192147
Warriors	163510
Sharks	157225
Dolphins	132604

Two heads, double value.

Super interesting.

I mean it used to make sense when you could get CP13, had Hodges at centre and McCulloch backup hooker, but who are they all going for now?? Maybe this year it’s bit of Vegas impact

Trade Lolo.
He’s going to be getting haemorrhoids with the amount of time he’ll spend on the bench.

I feel like I have too many Dogs & Raiders players so it's good to see I'm not the only one.

Awesome. I have Cotric, but not willing to loop with an 18th man, so will lock in the Salmon. Would like to go with Jacky, but there is risk there this far out. Play it with a straight bat early.

Bunnies have reached out to Bennett for 2025. We need Wighton in the halves, but our centres are so bad it's tricky.

When people are casually shuffling Salmon around on their bench among red dots, and he’s a backrow fixture in your team…

I was more intrigued that Cook gets subbed yet Murray was absolutely gassed and then gets moved to the middle and plays 80!

Just shows Demetriou really knows how to run his interchange bench.
Playing funny buggers, named Duncan to start at Lock (instead of keeping their best forward and captain in his preferred position) which just screams that he was fearful of the Broncos attack on the Edge. (Ironically, Walsh waltzes through the middle to score in the 25th minute.) Then he swaps Duncan to reserves. Then keeps Murray on, even though he was pretty clearly gassed and gives his 80 min Hooker a second spell when he'd already had a 10 min rest ITB!!
